Just heard thunder in New Providence and this thing isn't even that close yet.

Hard to believe it's going to completely collapse although I've seen it happen before

Not sure the heat was the cause of the power outage. Sounds like severe thunderstorms took out two high voltage lines at a major power plant. And the riots were caused by opportunistic criminals, likely poisoned by the proliferation of leaded gasoline.

The severe tstorms were because of the heat and riots and violence in general has been directly connected to extreme temperatures.  We see it every year here, as soon as it gets really hot the crime rate goes way up lol.

The biggest antidote to crime is cold weather, in the winter when it's cold and snows a lot, the crime rate goes way down.

Wow as the radar looks good, it is going to be a huge collapse for the HRRR to verify.

It does look like it is starting to move more SSE vs SE on radar so it might be right.  Even then it's not much rain for the city.

either way might see some sun after the complex passes

Skies have really opened up out here.  We are getting some decent lightning with this including CTG.  We are severe warned however there’s no wind to speak of.

[winterwx21]

Hearing thunder to the west now. I know it's supposed to be falling apart as it hits here, but we should at least get a decent amount of rain. 

[MorristownWx]

Moving slowly so some localized flooding is definitely in play

Looks that way. South jersey probably gets blasted

Solid moderate rain here. We're probably gonna get somewhere between a quarter and half inch.

Like watching the end of the world approach me.  Been watching it approach and hit a wall. 

[Euripides]

Raining and just had a flash of lightning in Old Bridge.

Lawn will be happy.

I think tomorrow could be a legit severe day for our area. The parent low is enormously deep for this time of year.

Timing... not everything clean cut.  Follow SPC D2 coming out in an hour or so.

Wantage: this part... about 1/4" past hour ...am loving the catch up here.  NJ Climate obs look good.  

 

Gypsy moths starting here in this part of Sussex County extreme nw NJ again. Second year running.  Not prolific yet but for me, time to DUCK TAPE band the oaks.

Have a good rest of the day.

I remember as a little kid in the 90s my school would have a field day at Valley Stream State Park and the trees (oaks I think) would be covered in those hairy caterpillars. I haven't seen them in a very long time.

Did they just disappear for awhile?

At least. Looks to go for another hour or so

[Sundog]

if this trajectory holds then Central Park and Staten Island will get a nice rain event while eastern Queens gets basically nothing. 

[Stormlover74]

Tornado warning far south jersey

although this time I'm happy-we've had enough rain here the last 2 weeks

[steve392]

One clap of thunder and a quick drizzle.  What looked like a monsoon an hour ago is just deflecting at Westchester county, ny. 

[Stormlover74]

Continuing to pour here. Similar to Wednesday
